TALK SHOW EPISODE NOTESOur MYTH WARRIORS™ series is about targeting ideas to begin the assessment of whether they are credible or not. Our target topic of this episode is, “In a fight against yourself, you will always lose. So, stop.”
We are fascinating organisms! The complexity and wonder of humans is something that we all are privileged to experience in our lives. In this show we address the issue of an individual who engages in acts of violence (or aggression) against themselves. Some people physically fight themselves, some do it verbally, some with thoughts, some use external weapons and some weaponize things that have other beneficial uses (e.g. food, exercise, etc.). When we are simultaneously the aggressor and the victim, do we ever “win?” If I fight myself (in any manner with any method), my victory is a Pyrrhic one. What price do I pay for defeating myself? What defenses will prevent us, any of us, from engaging in these (sometimes fatal) battles? If a person is famous, rich, powerful, educated, in a loving relationship, with a supportive family, attractive, etc., what ensures inoculation against self destruction? Nothing. Our human history and current events are littered with examples of famous, acclaimed, wealthy, powerful, loved and “successful” people who fight themselves to the finish in a “winner take all” forum. Why are we so arrogant to think we are immune to the negative outcomes of this self-aggression behavior? Why do we delude ourselves that if we just had the love, the money, the power, etc., that we would finally call a cease-fire on our own self-war? Let’s discuss what is a myth and what is reality (or as close to it as we can presently understand). |
